Every once in a while you are presented with an opportunity you simply have to embrace. While I was preparing to pack my family up for the Disney Social Media Moms Conference I was given such an opportunity; an email with an invitation. Would my little brood be interested in taking part in a “Ride Mount”? Essentially the chance to ride my all time favourite roller coaster in the world, the Rock N Roller Coaster, and have our every move documented along the way. Um, heck yes we would!
So what happens when you have a film crew meet you at 6:30 am at Hollywood Studios in DisneyWorld? First, you shake off the giggles and take in the incredible moment as you realize you have the entire park, practiaclly to yourself.
You then take a deep breath (and wish you had spent just a wee bit more time on hair and make-up because 6:30am is pretty darn early when you were out late with your teens the night before!)
You do your bit for the cameras…
…..and then take the whole crew on the best ride ever; the Rock N Roller Coaster.
Obviously.
Here’s the result of my “Ride Mount”. A few moments with a film crew, then a camera strapped to our ride to help us capture every twist, turn, scream and giggle as my family takes on my favourite roller coaster in the world.
Totally worth the 5:30 am wake up call. Totally.
What a blast! I would love to ride that coaster!
It really was a blast!
We loved this ride! We couldn’t convince our older daughter to go on it (our younger is too small) so my hubby & I took turns to both have a chance. I loved it and I’m sure the person next to me is now deaf in one ear!
Then you did your job 🙂 LOL
of course you have to scream!
Roller coasters are more fun if you scream! 🙂
Love it! What fun, although not sure I would have wanted to do at that time in the morning… you are brave! The camera loves you! 🙂
Rossana you are too kind! Thank you!
i have never been on a roller coaster looks amazing
Ohhhh you must try this one 🙂
I’ve been on this roller coster with my hubby on my honeymoon! It was AWESOME! We rode it over and over. We kept going on this one and the Tower of Terror ride. 🙂
Okay, you’re braver than me. I’ve yet to get myself onto the Tower of Terror!
I’ve been on one roller coaster in my life and I was fightened beyond belief! Not sure if I’d be brave enough to ride this one….but it looked like so much fun that I think I might have to re-consider! Great video!!
If you are going to do another one, you might as well start with one of the best! I think the heart pounding music helps distract you from the fact that you are flying through the air on a roller coaster 🙂
OMG This is so much fun, and you are braver than me!
It was a blast!
i have never been on one and i doubt i would go lol , i’m a little whimpy for that stuff , awesome video 🙂
My girls make me braver. LOL
You are braver than me, I am terrified of roller coasters! But what a neat experience!
Thanks Judy, it was an incredible experience.
How awesome is that!!!! I didn’t get to ride it when I was there, the wait was just too long.
Oh no! Next time you must use a fast pass for this ride, it might be my favourite of all time!
They were all out for the day, I’ll have to go there first!
That is probably one of the coolest things ever. The grounds pretty much to yourselves!?!
It felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Surreal!
That is totally amazing!!! Love the girlie screams.
I just can’t help myself, you must scream on a roller coaster!
Brave! Lol. Roller coasters are the funnest!
This one is my favourite!
You all are so brave! I assumed you skipped the 5:30 am buffet breakfast? 🙂
No breakfast was consumed before this ride 🙂
